All of these examples are so eye-appealing.

Never got around to testing it out as I always seem to be backed up with other projects. I would love to see someone try it in two colors though...hint hint :)Robin Perfettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654207262189636771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-91176015489146193802017-07-27T12:28:09.040-04:002017-07-27T12:28:09.040-04:00LOL, Jane.

You outdo yourself every time :-))) Magical. <br /><br />My first trial of a magic square is complete (4 quatrefoil squares) in between other projects, and am continuing onwards to a larger fabric. I ditched the triangular path I&#39;d started earlier in preference to an easier square path - no special center except for change in picot position. Hope to share soon. It has taken on a surprising effect in 2 colours - one I hadn&#39;t anticipated.<br /><br />I do hope somebody tries one of your magic squares in 2 colours as well :-)<br />Thanks for sharing, Robin.<br />muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-90617782559307056982017-07-27T05:50:57.858-04:002017-07-27T05:50:57.858-04:00Wonderful post Robin!
